PH Stainless Steel

PH Stainless Steel — Precipitation-Hardening High-Strength Solution

PH stainless steel, also known as Precipitation-Hardening Stainless Steel, is a high-strength, corrosion-resistant alloy designed for demanding applications where both excellent mechanical properties and durability are required. Through controlled heat treatment—solution treatment, quenching, and aging—PH stainless steels achieve exceptional hardness and strength unmatched by standard stainless steels.

mailongmetals supplies a full range of PH stainless steel grades, including:
17-4PH (AISI 630), 15-5PH, 13-8Mo, 17-7PH, 17-4LH
And other special grades according to customer requirements.

Our products fully comply with ASTM, AMS, JIS, GB, and other international standards, offering reliable performance in aerospace, petrochemical, nuclear, marine, and precision machinery industries.

Features & Advantages
  • High Strength After Aging Treatment

    Strength levels far exceed those of standard stainless steels, making them ideal for high-load components.

  • Excellent Corrosion Resistance

    Comparable to 304 and 316 stainless steel in most industrial and marine environments.

  • Good Toughness & Fatigue Resistance

    Maintains mechanical integrity under cyclic loads and harsh service conditions.

  • Precision, Stability & Low Deformation

    PH steels retain dimensional accuracy after heat treatment, suitable for precision-engineered parts.

  • Wide Range of Mechanical Properties

    Mechanical strength can be adjusted by varying aging temperature (H900, H1025, H1150, etc.).

  • Good Machinability

    Better machinability than austenitic stainless steel after aging hardening.
